You can take it with you. Just because you've got a factory radio in your Ford, doesn't mean you have to leave your iPod (and the hours and hours of music it contains) at home. Just install USA Spec's iPod interface  it not only allows you to listen to all your favorite tunes through your car's speakers, it even lets you control song and playlist selections right from your radio. And with your iPhone® connected, you can even stream music from popular Internet services like PANDORA®, Livio Radio, iHeartRadio, and more.

Just mount the compact interface box in a hidden location in your vehicle, and connect the adapter cable to your compatible Ford factory radio. Plug your iPod into the interface  you can control volume, source, song selection, and up to five different play lists right from the radio. USA Spec's Direct Mode lets your passenger control the tunes using the iPod itself. And the interface charges most iPods while connected.

You'll get a handy auxiliary input for connecting other sources, such as a satellite radio or another type of MP3 player.

Features

Overview: The USA Spec PA15-FORD1 iPod-to-Ford car stereo
interface allows a compatible iPod with a dock connector to be connected to and
controlled by the Sirius Satellite-ready factory radio in select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. The adapter uses the factory radio's Sirius
Satellite Radio port, so you will not be able to connect an external factory
Satellite Radio tuner. If your vehicle has an existing Sirius Satellite
Radio tuner, the USA Spec PA15-FORD2 (581P15FRD2, sold separately) must be
used.

Vehicle Compatibility: This interface enables a compatible
iPod to exist with a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury factory navigation system, CD-changer,
Sirius Satellite Radio ready receiver (you will lose your Satellite Radio tuner)
and DVD system, and control your iPod via both the vehicle's factory radio and
steering wheel controls. Non-navigation radios must have both Aux
and Text buttons for the PA15-FORD1 interface to function properly.Please consult the
Crutchfield Car Selector to see if your vehicle is compatible.

iPod Compatibility: The PA15-FORD1 is "Made for iPod/iPhone"
compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone model features when connected
to a compatible Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury factory radio (as of 10/2/2013):

Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality
results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to
reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If
this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software
update is available.

iPod Control: The USA Spec
PA15-FORD1's on-board software translates commands from your factory radio's
Sirius control into commands that will control your connected iPod. There are two modes of controlling your iPod:

Direct Mode: All the controls on the iPod are unlocked,
giving you total control remotely; the radio still has basic controls; track
up, track down, fast forward, and fast reverse. Direct Mode is accessed from
your factory radio's Sirius Satellite Radio preset 5.

Note: Direct Mode allows you to play music streamed from
Pandora.com and Sirius/XM Online from a connected iPhone or iPod touch
through your factory radio.

iPod Text: The Artist name, song title album name, and
playlist text can be displayed on the radio when using the Folder control mode.

Auxiliary Input: In addition to the iPod input on the
PA15-FORD1, there is an auxiliary input (RCA) for use with another source, such
as a DVD system, satellite radio, etc. This aux input can be used with or
without the iPod connected. The aux input is enabled by setting the DIP switch
#1 on the side of the interface adapter to the "On" position. The auxiliary
source is accessed on the factory using Satellite Radio preset 6.

Much better unit than the P.I.E. unit

OMG! Great sound, works as advertised, but works with iPhone4 connector only. I also use the AUX jacks for my MP3 player with a separate 3.5mm to RCA cable that I bought from Radio Shack.

This is MUCH MUCH better than the P.I.E. FRD04-AUX that Crutchfield sold back in 2008. That one was always intermittent and it crapped out for good this year.

Pros:Great Sound, easy to place, just tie it right above the glove box under dash and leave the cables in the glove box when not in use.

Cons:Does not come with RCA cable for AUX jacks. You must turn on radio first then push AUX button, otherwise, radio will erroneously display NO AUX AUDIO FOUND if the AUX button is pushed before the radio is powered on

USA Spec iPod® Interface for Ford

Caution - The devil's in the detail

Written By Bill, NC on Wednesday, April 02, 2014

Product was not compatible with my 2007 F250. Probably no fault of the manufacturer; however, some car manufacturer's use excess inventory in their vehicles when it comes to electronics - e.g. The 07 F250 came with a in dash 6 disk changer; however, earlier models of this deck were not MP3 compatible. The 07 is supposed to be MP3 compatible; therefore the maker of this product says it will work. In reality, it didn't because my deck isn't a 2007 deck. After tearing the truck apart, installing the device, and double/triple checking myself I called tech support. They asked me if the deck has MP3 printed on the face. It did not. They said it won't work. It was that easy, so I can't help but wonder why the manufacturer or Crutchfield wouldn't put a note on the product description if this is a common occurrence. To make matters worse, Crutchfield charges $10 for a return shipping label. Even though the end result involved me making an additional purchase of $400 to replace my deck. I feel cheated. It's only 10 bucks, but the principle says so much more.

Pros:Easy install.

Cons:Didn't work because my deck apparently is not the correct model. Deck MUST say MP3 on it!

USA Spec IPod Interface

Easy install. Took 20 minutes from start to finish. Only needed a Phillips screwdriver and nut driver. Placed the unit under console near cup holders since the console was apart. Ran the final connection cord through the access panel for the emergency brake inside the console. Plenty of car to reach anywhere in car and stores nicely in console, out of sight, when not in use. Functionality is as advertised. Great alternative to buying a new radio while remaining with the OEM look!

Not Great in the Long Run

Written By Jared, Raleigh, NC on Sunday, June 02, 2013

Installation went very quickly, and for the first six months, I really enjoyed the product. It was after some time passed that the Direct Connect pin-adapter failed. USA Spec customer service was less than helpful, and insisted that I uninstall the entire unit and return it to the factory, and maybe then they would qualify it for a warranty repair. USA Spec claimed the pin adapter had corroded and was not covered by the one-year product warranty, and were going to charge me for a replacement cable. I ended up just using the 3.5mm headphone jack/RCA cable connection. I can't go to another manufacturer for the pin-adapter cable because the jack on the interface is manufacturer specific. Bottom line, I would not purchase this product again. Wears out easy and manufacturer customer service is poor considering the price.

Pros:Worked good for a little while

Cons:Bad manufacturer customer service, cables wear out easily, not worth the time and financial investment.

USA Spec iPod® Interface for Ford

Installation was a breeze and functions worked as described. Sound quality however was less than desirable. When using the iPod through Folder mode utilizing the controls through the factory receiver, the sound quality was top notch. But accessing the Artists/Albums/Songs this way was not user friendly and very tedious to say the least. When using the iPod via Direct method, the sound quality was flat, tinny, and not enjoyable at all. Accessing songs this way was a snap, but the sound quality was horrendous. This left me with the tradeoff of good sound quality vs ease of use. After speaking with the technician, I decided to return this and just replace the factory head unit for the same price as this interface. FYI: This was installed in an '08 Expedition 6CD with factory subwoofer. I had an interface from the same company in my '00 F-350 and absolutely loved it. The design changes to the stereo from Ford did not allow me to use this older model interface.

Cons:Horrible sound quality via Direct mode
Difficult and very tedious to use when using iPod via Folder mode, having to go through each artist/album/song individually in alphabetical order.
No way to combine ease of use and good sound quality. It was either/or

USA Spec iPod Interface Ford F250

Written By Don T, Tampa on Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Really nice piece of kit; however, it would not work with my vehicle. Crutchfield and USA Spec tech support was fantastic during the trouble shooting phase but unfortunately for me the build date for the factory head unit made it incompatible with the interface.

Great product

Great product easy install and does what it says can do iPhone and pandora plus android! Have to control android through phone but not a big deal. Everything works like it sould. Love it. Ran right to center console. Can even tell I changed anything for the factory look. Nice and clean!

Great Product

This product is awesome. Installed it on my wife's 06 mustang and it has worked great. The sound is phenomenal as well as it is nice to have it charge your iphone and ipod while its playing. The install was really simple, just make sure to mount it under the consle by the ebrake lever. Theres more room and its carpeted to reduce rattle. Overall i would definitely by another product from this company.

excellent product

This integrates nicely with the radio controls, and it gives you more than one way to listen to iPod content. The controls are easy to learn, and the sound is fine. Has both iPod connector and input for analog radio, like satellite.

Very nice

I got this for my son's 06 Mustang. It is his first car, and I didn't want him messing with his iphone while driving.

I was a bit concerned about doing it ourself because I remeber 30 years ago when I did stuff like this, and things not fitting back so good. Plastic clips that don't hold anymore, ...

This turned out to be very easy. The cheat sheet from Crutchfield is the key here. It tells you exactly what and where to do. The product came with wiring harness with plenty of room. The one negative, the unit doesn't provide a good way to screw it down some where. We were going to put it behind the radio, but I was afraid it would rattle. However, the hardness was so long that we snaked it under the middle console (you already have console top removed) and sat it under where the drink holders would end up. The carpet runs up under there and it lays on that so we shouldn't hear any rattle.

As for the product, I was impressed. My wife;s and my cars have had the aux input type of connections for years. But, this type of ipod/iphone control is really neat. You have charging, itunes control, vol. control., playlist, artist, and song folders, and a direct mode which controls go back to iphone when you need it.

Ease of install -- much easier than expected Product features - met/exceeded expectations

1 Happy Camper

This wiring kit was super easy to install... Just plug and play... If you can put
up Christmas lights you can be Ipod ready in One Hour with this kit and the fine
instruction manual that Crutchfields sends with the unit.

Works with first generation iPad!!!

Written By Gabe, Mesa,Az on Sunday, March 27, 2011

I bought this not knowing whether it would work with my iPad but lucked out!!!
Every function mentioned including direct mode works with the iPad and charges
it as TOO! I ordered this along with a padholr to mount my IPad in front of my
stereo on my 2007 Ford Fusion SE. Also works with my iPhone 4 and iPod nano.
Only problem I have is when I use the track up/down buttons on the steering
wheel it changes the stereo function instead of the tracks, I've tried to use my
other idevices and got the same results. Still trying to figure it out. Would
have rated 5 stars if steering wheel track up/down buttons worked properly but
not too much of a pain, overall a satisfied customer.

Read the product info. carefully...

Check the Hands-On Research tab or go to USASpec's site to review the product info. I
would read the manual, which is available for download on their site. Be sure to
note: "Non-Navigation radios must have BOTH AUX and TEXT buttons". The
requirements are very specific on the years, models, radio type (CDP vs CD6), etc and
these are clearly outlined so read carefully. Don't rate a product 1 star due to user error.

I easily installed it a couple weekends ago in my 2006 Mustang GT w/Shaker 500. It
charges my iPhone4, while performing all other iPod functionality. The
harness was perfect, just unplug the factory harness from the radio, plug it into the new
harness and plug the new harness into the back of the radio. It took maybe 1.5 hrs to
install, only because I'm very meticulous and cleaned everything during reassembly,
made sure it was easily accessible for updates, and I had to pull the contol panel off
2x during reinstall since the AC connecter didn't reseat fully. The Crutchfield master
sheet supplied really helped also.

The product works flawlessly and the SQ is excellent. The USA Spec products have a
very good reputation if you research online and had the best features to price out of 3
other manufacturers I was looking at. The controls take some getting used to, but I
prefer the setup now over my wife's factory setup in her 2011 Nissan, which doesn't
have scrolling text, direct mode, or an additional aux. input...

excellent product

Purchased this for my son's 2006 Ford Fusion SEL. Make SURE when you order for this
car that you check carefully to determine your OEM radio is one of the two types listed.
Installation instructions were decent, had no real problems getting the dash cover
popped off and access to the radio. The install from there is pretty easy, just unplug and
replug with the included wiring harness. Placement of the unit is a little tricky. I do not
recommend putting it in your glove box. Too much movement of the wires if you access
the glove box regularly. I had ample room behind and above my OEM radio, so i used
some velcro cable management ties and put in behind and above. Ran the sync cable
under the center console and drilled a small access hole in the bottom of the storeage
bin. Ipod is therefore out of sight. Works perfectly with the OEM radio and steering
wheel controls. Very happy to know that my son will not have to take his hands off the
steering wheel to operate the unit.

NOT FOR SINGLE DISC??

Bought this unit because it is supposed to be for 2005-2008 f150 with Factory
Stereo without subwoofer. Installed very quickly but wouldn't control iPod with
the Aux button. Called USA Spec and was told that this unit will ONLY work on a
in dash 6 disc without Sat radio. Funny how usa spec website states 2005-2008
F150 ALL RADIOS.
Waste of time. Crutchfield Crew has been very helpful in getting me a new
solution for my iPod. But USA Spec was a waste of time for me

Not for 07 F-350 with factory 6 cd changer

Written By Ed, Abilene, KS on Thursday, October 14, 2010

Bought this so we could play either MP3 or IPod players thru factory 6 cd stereo changer. Install took about 45 minutes to no avail. Everything connected properly but radio didn't recognize the interface. Tech support gave me USA Spec after hours contact number. After reading the VIN off the truck and the model # off the radio, they claimed I had a 06 radio in a 07 truck. We bought the truck new off the dealer lot and the radio has never been replaced or serviced. A lot of time and effort wasted.

Great Product !

This is a great addition to my factroy radio. I have an F150 with the factory navigation
radio and just added this iPod interface. It works great with my touchscreen. I'm able to
search by playlist, artist, album, or all songs. And u can select "direct" which allows u to
control everything from the iPod ! I'm very happy with my selection; thank u Kramer in
customer service !!

Not for early 05 F150

While I'm sure this unit works great, I learned it does not work with some early model 05 F150's. After Talking to support at USA SPEC, I learned that some 05's will have the '04 radio with a USELESS 16pin connector on the back, and an AUX button that has no function. I confired this via Ford with my VIN. So be sure to check ahead if you have an early 05 model :) As usual, Crutchfields awesome support got me in touch with USASPEC and took back the unit with zero hassles. I'll be back :)

It works by accessing the AUX on the car then you press SHUFFLE on the car stereo and then you control everything through your iPod. There is a way to control through the car stereo control buttons, but it is a bit clunky and hard to understand. I will mess with it more to see if I can makes sense of it.

The installation took all of 15 minutes start to finish and required no electronics knowledge or wire splicing.

The only thing that was a little out of the ordinary was feeding the iPod plug in adaptor to where I wanted it. I chose to drill a 1/2" hole in the armrest storage compartment right were the coin holder for dimes is. I had to mess with the drill a bit to make the hole slightly larger than 1/2" but in the end, it worked perfectly.

What isn't mentioned..........

Installed the product this weekend in my F-150. Pretty easy installation, straightforward instructions. iPod sounds great through my factory stereo system, BUT, what isn't mentioned anywhere and I only found out by calling the USA Spec tech line today is that every time you plug in the iPod, or, when it's already plugged in, every time you start your vehicle their unit causes the iPod to default back to playing "all songs" in alphabetical order. I usually listen to a particular playlist with "shuffle" turned on. I thought maybe there was something about the units operation I didn't understand so I called the USA Spec tech help. The Tech I talked to told me he didn't care for it operating this way either, but the company made the decision to have their units "default" this way, sorry, that's just how it is, etc. Every time the iPod is powered up you have to go to the iPods "settings" select your playlist, and turn "shuffle" back on. So, unless I didn't get the correct information today, please be aware of this rather odd behavior before purchasing. This is a lot to spend on something that seems like there are some issues that still need to be worked out.
